Sometimes the flea market is overflowing with great things, sometimes its a bit scant– we all know this. Here are a few notable things from our trip to the flea market at the NC Fair Grounds in Raleigh. I’ve been to Carol Patterson’s booth at the Raleigh flea twice and both times I’ve been tempted.
